JTBC's new Saturday-Sunday drama 『100 Memories』 has been drawing attention by earning the nickname 『Close Love Restaurant』 even before the broadcast.

Following the released character relationship and letter, the new still cut was unveiled, and the charm of the youth melodrama was doubled with analog sensibility, stimulating the excitement of viewers.

『100 Memories" (written by Yang Hee-seung, Kim Bo-ram, directed by Kim Sang-ho, produced by SLL), which will premiere on the 13th, depicts the friendship and first love of young people in the 1980s. The shining friendship between Young-rye (Kim Da-mi) and Jong-hee (Shin Ye-eun) of Bus No. 100, and the intertwined feelings with Han Jae-pil (Huh Nam-joon), who will change the fate of the two, are the central axis. In those days when there was no mobile phone or Internet, letters and public phones that conveyed their hearts are reborn as the language of love in the play, creating a nostalgic feeling.




In the released still, the friendship between Young-rye and Jong-hee, who express each other's existence as a 'gift from heaven', was captured, but at the same time, Jong-hee's confession that "I love you so much, nevertheless" casts tension. Here, the appearance of Jae-pil, whom Young-rye has a crush on, shakes the boundary between friendship and love, heralding a catastrophe.

Another eye is on Yeongrye. Chung Hyeon (Kim Jung-hyun), who has always been watching by his side, is hiding his warm heart after being slick, and Jae-pil's friend Sang-cheol (Lee Won-jung) is in love with Young-rye at first sight at the meeting and rushing without hesitation. With the men's emotional lines toward the heroine added, the drama was completed with a narrative that was like 'Jjak-love restaurant'.

In particular, the point of view of the play is the letter written by Jae-pil. The affectionate words "I miss you even when I'm watching and I miss you again and again" have been released, but it is still shrouded in mystery who the recipient of the letter is. Viewers' speculation about who the letter would be to, Yeongrye or Jonghee, continued, raising expectations for the main broadcast.




The production team said that "An analog sensibility such as public phone calls and letters completes a variety of emotional lines" and "Moments of unrequited love that anyone can sympathize with will touch the hearts of viewers"." '100 Memories' will premiere at 10:40 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 13, following 'Esquire: Lawyers Dreaming of Being a Lawyer'.
